Re: Looking for DIY amp for bass only

I drive my Maggie IIIA 3-way active with DIY kit amps - the AKSA 100N for the base, the 55N for the mid and the 25N for the ribbon.

You can see the AKSA 100 at:
http://www.aksaonline.com/products/products_aksa100.html

This amp is "rated at" 100wpc but its power supply is designed for high short-term currents, so it really kicks base ass!

The IIIA base panel LP filter is 18dB at 300Hz - ie. my amp is taking more load than yours would, due to the lower cutoff point - and it never gets more than warm ... so it's not getting maxed out, even with the 4ohm load.

AKSAs come as a complete kit - ie. PCB, parts (except for the heavy things like power transformers and case) and very good instructions. You can email Hugh Dean, the designer, on:
aksa1@optushome.com.au
if you're interested in looking at them further.

Regards,

Andy
